Born 18 August 1969, in Boston, Massachusetts. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.

Edward Norton’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Edward Norton was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on 18 August 1969, a Monday. Their zodiac sign is Leo. The Moon was in Libra until about 14:55 and in Scorpio afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Edward turns 57 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Edward; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Earth carries the most weight: three of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against fire two, air two and water two. By modality the count is three cardinal, three fixed and three mutable. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Sun and Neptune: a square, about 0.5° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Every planet was moving direct. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 19 other people born on 18 August, among them Roman Polanski, Robert Redford and Patrick Swayze. Christian Slater was born on the very same day.

Edward Norton’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 25° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Edward Norton that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.
Moon sign
Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 14:55, then Scorpio (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 14:55: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Edward, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.
Born after about 14:55: Moon in Scorpio
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Edward that suggests trust that is slow, private and absolute; betrayal, once it happens, is not forgotten. This Moon is restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.
Rising sign
The rising sign changes about every two hours, so it cannot be known without a birth time. The table below shows which sign was rising over Boston, Massachusetts, at each hour of the day.
Edward Norton’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Edward yet. It shows a birth time only when Astro-Databank rates it AA, A or B on the Rodden scale (AA from a birth certificate or record, A from the person, someone close to them or a news report, B from a biography). Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 18 August 1969, computed for Boston, Massachusetts.

Edward Norton’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Edward Norton’s private life.
Purpose for Edward Norton is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.
Moon in Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 14:55, then Scorpio
needs and habits
Born before about 14:55: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off Edward's whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The habit to watch is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they want.
Born after about 14:55: Moon in Scorpio
For Edward, the Moon in Scorpio means emotional needs that run deep and private, and a preference for managing a hard feeling alone over explaining it while it is still raw. Trust builds slowly and is rarely given back once broken. Even among the people closest to them, this Moon is likely to need real privacy.
For Edward, Mercury in Virgo points to thinking that is precise and attentive to detail, and to clear communication, because the facts have usually been checked first. The catch is fixating on a small error and losing sight of the larger point. This is the placement that edits a message three times before sending something everyone else would have sent in one go.
Venus in Cancer loves by nurturing, and for Edward that suggests valuing emotional safety over almost anything else in a relationship. Old hurts tend to linger here long after the person who caused them has changed. This is a Venus that feeds people, checks on people and quietly keeps score of who has shown up in return.
Mars in Sagittarius acts boldly and wants room to move while doing it, and its anger flares fast over anything that feels like a limit on freedom. Edward may speak bluntly in the heat of the moment and smooth it over later. Given the choice, this placement walks away from a fight rather than staying to work it out.
Jupiter in Libra
5° Libra 36' at midday
growth and excess
In Edward's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.
Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Edward is likely to take very little for granted. The doubt is a fear that stability could disappear, even when it clearly has not. This placement likes to know what things cost before committing, and tends to stay careful even in steady times.
Uranus in Libra
2° Libra 00' at midday
freedom, generational
Edward holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.
Neptune in Scorpio
25° Scorpio 58' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Edward shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.
Pluto in Virgo
23° Virgo 50' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Edward and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
Aspects in Edward Norton’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first. Without a birth time the orbs are those at midday, and aspects to the Moon are left out because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day.
Sun square Neptune
about 0.5° at midday
A Sun-Neptune square can blur Edward Norton's sense of who they are under the pull of an ideal, a cause or someone else's story, until it is unclear where they end and the dream begins. The task is staying inspired without losing their own outline.
Mercury sextile Venus
about 0.7° at midday
Thinking and affection are easy companions in Edward's chart, which gives them a natural charm in how they communicate. With Mercury sextile Venus, expressing appreciation and finding the right words go together, especially in moments when they want someone to feel noticed.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus
about 3.6° at midday
Growth comes suddenly and by unconventional routes with Jupiter conjunct Uranus, and Edward is likely to be drawn to opportunities that break from the expected path. Openness to change is the strength. Following through on one bold idea before moving on to the next is the discipline.
Mercury conjunction Pluto
about 5.4° at midday
Edward's thinking is likely to be probing and intense, drawn to what lies underneath a surface explanation. With Mercury conjunct Pluto, getting to the bottom of things comes naturally, and the caution is not to assume a hidden motive where an ordinary one will do.
One more aspect, listed without a reading. It is between two of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, whose aspects hold for years at a time, so everyone born while it holds shares it.

How this page is made
Planet positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, come from Astro-Databank and are shown with their Rodden rating. The readings describe what a placement is traditionally taken to mean. They are written by StarMap for reflection and entertainment, not as statements about the person’s private life. New to charts?
